Friday the 13th Book Club

If you love eerie stories, uncanny atmospheres, and a touch of the supernatural, the Friday the 13th Book Club is your perfect once-in-a-while thrill. Together, we explore haunting tales, gothic classics, unsettling fantasies, and modern psychological horrors, always choosing books that deliver chills without going too extreme.
This book club meets only on actual Friday the 13ths, on the 13th hour (1:00pm) making each gathering a rare and memorable event.
February: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman**
Synopsis: A coming-of-age fantasy/horror about a boy raised by ghosts in a graveyard after his family is murdered. It blends whimsy, gothic atmosphere, and moral growth.
March: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher**
Synopsis: A dark, fungal-infested, psychological horror novella loosely inspired by Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.” It’s moody, intense, and more mature. Full of dread, decay, and creeping terror.
November: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson**
Synopsis: A slow-burn haunted-house novel where the horror comes less from outright monsters and more from psychological unease, identity, and atmosphere.
**Available on the Libby App in audiobook or eBook format
